This is not how the tag is used. It is often used for sports halls of 
sports centers, some examples can be found in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/leisure%3Dsports_hall#Examples_in_the_OSM_database 
.
The wiki page for sports_hall says "A sports hall can often be found on 
a campus of a school or in a sports centre."

Recently you added to the wiki page for sports_centre that sports halls 
inside of sports centres don't need a leisure tag if the centre is 
mapped as an area. OTOH it says "Use building=* for any buildings which 
are included within the centre. These can be given different sport and 
leisure tags." AFAIK the sport tag always needs a physical tag. Is that 
recent addition compatible with that? Is building=* a physical tag for 
sport=*? It is not listed in 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport#Associated_tags .

I think it would be too difficult for mappers to have different tagging 
rules for sports halls inside and outside of sports centres and 
depending on whether the sports center is mapped as a node or an area.

If you do not recommend to tag a sport hall inside of a sports centre 
with a leisure tag how do you recomend to tag a fitness studio inside of 
a sports centre and why?
